Abstract: This paper aims to determine the most reliable green supply chain management (GSCM) practices, which could positively affect the environmental performance (EP), and the operational performance (OP) of organisations. The most reliable practice is that of higher level in both its importance and applicability. Seven GSCM practices are evaluated by integrating the preference selection index (PSI) multi criteria decision-making with the importance-performance analysis (IPA) approaches. These GSCM practices were the internal environmental management (IEM), cooperation with customers (CC), green procurement (GP), green manufacturing (GM), green warehousing (GW), green transportation (GT), and waste management (WM). A printing firm in Jordan was selected as a case study. The opinions of several experts were collected. Based on the results of both the PSI and the IPA approaches, the GW and GP GSCM practices were of high contribution to the improvement of the EP and OP in the printing industry.

Keywords: green supply chain; environmental performance; operational performance; printing industry; preference selection index; PSI; importance-performance analysis; IPA.
